Almost Even lyrics

If I could take half the fire from my lips

Put it in your heart, and rub it on the tip of your tongue

We'd be almost even

If I could rev you up and leave you in neutral

Feeling out the gears and never locking fully in Drive

We'd be almost even

Hey, we'd be…

Almost even

If you could swim halfway I would throw you a short line

Almost even

Well, I'm not the cruel kind,

But baby I'd make an exception this time

If I could pick you up when you're shiny and new

Show you off, pack you up, and shelve you with my other old toys

We'd be almost even

Hey, we'd be…

Almost even

If I could push you off a cliff and say "I'll catch you the next time"

Almost even

Well, I'm not the cruel kind,

But baby I'd make an exception this time

Aii, Aii, Aii, Aii

Almost even

If you could swim halfway I'd throw you a short line

Almost even

Well, I'm not the cruel kind,

But baby I'd make an exception, I'm…

Almost even

If I could push you off a cliff and say "I'd catch you if I had the time"

Almost even

Well, I'm not the cruel kind,

But baby I'd make an exception

I'm not the cruel kind,

But baby I'd make an exception

I'm not the cruel kind,

But baby I'd make an exception this time

Aii, Aii, Aii, Aii
